Open Call for Baltic-Nordic Artists @ RIXC Art, Science & Techno-Ecologies Residency Program

The call is now open for the fully funded second and third residencies until January 15, 2023 & October 15, 2023 of the new Residency Program for Baltic and Nordic artists who work on the edge of art, science and techno-ecologies, exploring the complex relations between the human, nature and digital technologies.

Three Art, Science and Techno-Ecologies residencies supported by NCP (Nordic Culture Point), two-month each, for Baltic and Nordic artists will take place at RIXC in Riga, Latvia. The three fully-funded Baltic-Nordic Artist Residencies will also include a trip and short-stay visits to RIXC Fields residency (in rural area) and their partner location – at the Irbene Radiotelescope.

Application submission: https://balticnordicresidencies.rixc.lv/openconf.php

SECOND RESIDENCY: March 1 - April 30, 2023 / OR October 1 - November 30, 2023
Deadline for submissions: January 15, 2023

THIRD RESIDENCY: February 1, 2024 – March 31, 2024
Deadline: October 15, 2023

Artists will be granted with a fee of 3000 EUR for each 2-month residency. This fully-funded residency also will provide the selected artists with free accomodation, covering their travel costs, local transportation costs, technical assistance and other production costs related to public presentation.  As a result of the residency we expect that new artwork (installation, exhibition, performance) will be produced with a public presentation at the RIXC Gallery.

We welcome applications by both – established and emerging artists, individual artists as well as artist duo from Baltic or Nordic countries. We primarily will accept those applications, in which artists will express their interest in producing new “techno-ecological” artworks, as well as exhibiting or publicly presenting their work, getting engaged with local artists, scientists and communities, and getting involved in other RIXC activities.
